Acupuncture Treatment
The insertion of acupuncture needles is said to restore the balance between two principal forces of nature Yin and Yang. Acupuncturists believe disease and pain occur as a result of imbalance between these two forces.
The origins of acupuncture in China can be traced back at least two thousand years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing healthcare systems in the world. Today, Acupuncture is an effective, natural and increasingly popular form of health care that is being used by people from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds.
Acupuncture may be used alone or in combination with Western Medicine and/or Chinese Herbal Preparations. It is most often used to relieve pain resulting from chronic illnesses and severe injury.
Scientists have determined that Acupuncture triggers signals in the nervous system to adjust the activities of the body's internal organs and to change the pain signals sent to the brain. Researchers have shown that Acupuncture increases the brain's production of natural painkillers called Endorphins. These substances are morphine like chemicals that influence the body's perception of pain.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbal medicine are mainly plant based, but some preparations may include minerals or animal products. We at Australian Natural Medicine Centre do not use any herbal products which contain animal products.
Chinese Herbal Medicines may be powders, pastes, lotions or tablets, depending on the herb and its intended use. Different herbs have different properties and can balance particular parts of the body. Prescribing a particular herb or concoction of herbs mean the practitioner's diagnosis has to take into account the state of the patient's Yin and Yang, and the elements that are governing the affected organs.
There are over 2,000 different Chinese Herbal substances. However, here in Australia there are around 400 herbs used. Some of the ingredients you may find in your kitchen, such as ginger, garlic and cinnamon, while others such as chrysanthemum and peony flowers, are more likely to be found in your garden. There are many more substances you may have never heard before: chai hu (bupleurum), di huang (rehmannia), huang qi (astragalus) etc.
We use herbal products in pill form which makes taking them easy and convenient while improving overall compliance of patients.
